I am amazed by the detailed information that you have provided. You have a very scientific approach to driving an EV. :) Thanks again for the information. I will tow my Leaf on a car trailer behind the moving van when I head to Utah and try it out.

Thanks for the feedback. This was valuable information. Hopefully SLC will improve the infrastructure in the future so they can promote EVs and improve the air quality in the city. As I stated in my previous posts, I don't plan on commute to SLC and back to Park City. It would only be an...

Yes, I will be parking it and charging it in a garage at home. Some of the driving in the area between Heber City and Kimball Junction will be on a highway where the speed limit is about 65 mph or so. However, as you say the speed limit is much lower in Park City proper. Our house sits on top of...

Ok, I looked at the charge meter this morning. I have a 9 small bars on the right side plus two red ones, for a total of 11. Where can I get a GOD? Thanks for all of the input. It seems like the Leaf is being used in some mountainous terrain around the world (like in Norway). I should probably...

The car is charging right now, but I guess I should rephrase my previous post. I think I still have as many bars as I have always had when I charge it to 80%. It is just the GuessOMeter that has changed and is now displaying a lower number. But I think the GuessOMeter is somewhat accurate. I...

Yes, this is what worries me. I agree with you that I probably have to expect a 50% reduction in range due to the cold climate and the terrain. Our home is about 10 miles outside of Park City. And I have lost quite a few bars since the car was new. Now the car reports about 65-70 miles range...

We are getting a house near Park City, Utah and I wonder if it would be worth the effort to use my Leaf there. I have been driving it for two winters in Texas and I have noticed that when we run the heater the range is drastically reduced (even with the Texas mild winters). So in a colder and...

Thanks EricBayArea. I'll keep waiting. I see this as a great after-market customization kit. Just image if you could add a powerful audio amplifier and speakers underneath the car, and turn on the world's loudest harley-sound when a harley rolls up next to you (or any other sound of your...

Ok. I am reposting this question.... I would like to customize the sound that the Leaf makes when it is moving. Does anyone know of how this can be done? Any links to some technical documents regarding this topic?

Does anybody from Nissan read this forum? It would be great to get an official confirmation that it is better to charge to 80% rather than 100% which is the default. It seems strange to me that Nissan would leave the default at 100% if they recommend 80%. /Hanz - 1000 miles and counting
